Well, I did not final in the Golden Hearts :(. Good luck to all those that did, though!
Symbian program dowlandAnyone who is interested, RWA has announced the RITA (published division) finalists and GH (unpublished division) finalists. The winners will be announced at the RWA National Convention in July.
Writing-wise, I still have not been able to sit down and work on Seasons. Since I've been home, my parents have been finding things for us to do, like moving 30+ boxes of old, old, old files from our garage to my dad's storage facility. Let me tell you, you don't want to do anything but sleep after doing that. Another part of the problem is that I just do not want to sit in front of a computer. My mind has taken the "break" part of spring break literally. Friday night though, I did end up writing an article that I'm going to query the RWA national journal on. It just flowed. I'm really pleased with it, and I hope that they pick it up. I just need to get the query letter for it out the door. Which means I have to pin my mom down on reading it so I don't send it out with any spelling errors. I have this phobia about sending out query/cover letters without anyone reading it beforehand. Mainly because I tend to forget keywords when writing. That whole "my brain moves faster than my fingers" thing.
Okay, time for bed, so that I can get my butt working on Seasons tomorrow. I have a gameplan and I plan on sticking to it.
Oh, for you writers out there: when I talked to my mom about planning on doing some serious writing this week and not planning on moving files, she said, "So, you write 35 pages today, and you write 35 pages tomorrow." I had to get another box of tissues for the tears of laughter running down my eyes.
